Traditionally, video surveillance or CCTV has never succeeded in the
small business and residential market. This is due to the complexity and
more importantly cost and installation of CCTV systems. To be effective,
a video surveillance system must be able to detect motion. It must then
record the alarm image. If the system is monitored, it must be able to
dial out via the telephone line and transmit the alarm image. The above
requirements implies the traditional CCTV System consists of a camera,
motion detector, time lapse video recorder, monitor, video transmitter
and coax cable wiring. This system is too expensive for many business
and homes, let alone the need to change tapes everyday!

SuperSleuth Wise has solved this problem. Wise has a built-in digital
camera and also features sophisticated video motion detection (VMD). The
VMD has 4 rectangular rubber band zones of any size and can be positioned
anywhere in the view of the camera. This is far superior to any other
motion detector as only selected areas or objects can be targeted. The
VMD can also be used outdoors unlike the VMD from most competitors.

Upon VMD or external alarm trigger, SuperSleuth Wise stores time and
date stamped images to a rotating database. The flash Ram stores up to
700 alarmed images or up to 1500 low-resolution monochrome images. The
alarmed images are held within the Wise unit and cannot be erased. When
the database is full, the new image overwrites the oldest image. This
eliminates any maintenance like changing videotapes.

SuperSleuth Wise can operate as a stand-alone system. The images can
be downloaded to a computer via a 4-metre cable provided. When connected
via modem, the captured images are transmitted to a remote computer or
central monitoring station for video verification. The owner can at anytime,
dial in to view through the camera to interrogate the site. For modem
connections, modem reboot, to alleviate those troublesome modem lock ups,
is standard. Wise can also transmit across the GSM (mobile phone) network
via an optional GSM modem.

As SuperSleuth Wise fits into the palm of your hand with no coaxial cable
wiring, installation is relatively simple. In summary, Wise is a complete
video surveillance system, which replaces the camera, motion detector,
time-lapse video recorder, monitor and video transmitter. The price of
SuperSleuth Wise is less than a third of the conventional CCTV system
for a single camera application.

The intelligence of this unit is in its flexibility and programmability.
Every aspect of monitoring and image capture is programmable by the user,
including timer when VMD is to be active. The external input can be interfaced
to existing alarm systems or programmed as a switch or trigger input.
Output relay can drive a siren/strobe or control door, gates or lighting.
A 3 level password protection allows controlled authorised access. SuperSleuth
Wise can also dial up 2 different remote sites based on a timer.

SuperSleuth Wise offers a more manageable alternative to larger security
systems and is ideal for homes, apartments, small commercial sites, shops,
factories and warehouses. Banks and chain stores benefits with the duress
alarm feature for the Head Office to monitor robberies as well as management
requirements. Wise is also suited to a diverse range of applications such
as taxis, vehicles including buses, trucks and trains or vending machines
and ATMs. Its size and low power consumption allows Wise to be used as
a potable battery powered surveillance equipment for the prevention of
theft in construction sites, detection of environmental dumping and vandalism
and aid to Police investigation.

SuperSleuth Wise has made video surveillance effective, versatile and
very affordable.
